Well after a busy spring, I have my new engine installed a running, re-epoxyed nosecone and painted outdrive, installed mufflers, painted dash white and installed a morse shifter to replace the old foot throttle, and fiberglassed a new side pannel to hold the throttle / shifter. Let me know how it looks. This should be a good boating summer after a 1 1/2 of working out the bugs. I might dip it in this sunday for the Metro Boat Show. Just a few bugs to work out.

Looks good what is it?

Check out the first link / might have not been a dream boat if I would have gotten a survey. All jokes aside I still like the boat just took a year and a half to get back to boatable.

Remember it the Scarab CV that you walked me through the rotted transom last summer. By the way thanks a million to all members. You would know me better if I did not spend so much time working on this boat. I am looking at tech post for hours every day. Well I am almost done and it was worth the wait.

Here is a quick list of repairs to boat sence feb 2004.

Replaced rotted transom
Rebuild trim cylenders and external stering ram
replace barings in raw water pump
Had starter rebuild and replace ring gear
rewired all ( my specialty )
Rebuit engine
reworked belts and changed crank pulley
And tons of fine tunnning

Nicely done

I remember that boat now. Have a blast with it, time to have fun. Looks like you did some good work on her.
